- The BAU is called when the New Orleans P.D. discovers a mass grave inside a vandalized above-ground crypt in a local cemetery.
- Almost immediately following their last case, the BAU is called to New Orleans, Louisiana where ten dead bodies, recently deceased, have been found in a vandalized crypt. All ten are burnt beyond recognition, each body being drained of its blood. Due to other evidence, the team believes the murders may be ritualistic and related to voodoo. The identification of the first five victims results in a mixed victimology across races, genders, ages and socioeconomic status, with three having been homeless and two working professionals. The M.E. is also able to determine that all victims were killed by large doses of ketamine, with the exsanguination and the burning, where the unsub used rubbing alcohol as an accelerant, occurring post-mortem. When a further victim emerges alive, the team believes they know the unsub's targets: anyone who displays any open symptoms of being sick, his mission to put the targets out of their misery, with voodoo not factoring into the crimes. Beyond the ten in the crypt and the few others discovered after the team's arrival in the city, J.J. comes to the conclusion that the unsub had an original target who has yet to be discovered. The discovery of the original victim will help the team discover the identity of the unsub. The team is without Prentiss on this case, she staying behind in Quantico to meet with Assistant Director Linda Barnes, and J.J. placed in the role of acting unit chief for this case. The team, especially J.J. and Simmons, are most concerned as J.J. had already met with Barnes and told in confidence only scant pieces of the reason for the meeting with Prentiss, while Simmons' prior dealing with Barnes was in her dismantling of the IRT of which Simmons was then a member. The meeting between Barnes and Prentiss is on the surface an annual review, this one important on the first anniversary of Reid being jailed, but Prentiss begins to believe that beyond Barnes' own ambition to become Director that she has a specific agenda about which she is not being forthright. Prentiss has to decide to play nice or fight back against Barnes' hardball tactics.—Huggo
